US for Indian military aid |
India`s gift of four MI-25 attack helicopters to Afghanistan was welcomed by the Afghan forces, but they wanted more. The Afghans have asked for more of these helicopters. There is an immediate need for more. When these aircraft come in, they immediately get into the fight, said Gen John Nicholson, commander of US forces in Afghanistan. Earlier, the US used to discourage India from getting into the security sector keeping Pakistani sensitivities in mind. Gen Nicholson told journalists they were looking up to India for spare parts for the Russian-made aircraft in the Afghan air force.
